Here Can Never Be a Conflict Between Faith and Reason CATHOLIC MEDICAL ASSOCIATION Upholding the Principles of the Cotholic Faith in the Science and Praaice of M edicine The Holy Alliance has been made possible by a grant from Our Sunday Visitor Institute. The Catholic Medical Association is most grateful for their support. The Holy Alliance Project Description The Holy Alliance Project/Program seeks to develop a strong alliance among priests and physician members of the Catholic Medical Association. The unity of faith and reason is under direct assault in our world today. As Catholics, we acknowledge with certainty that the truths of science and the truths of the Faith have one and the same Source. There can never be a conflict between faith and reason. The controversial moral issues of our day all have a medical or bioethical component. Our priests and faithful Catholic physicians must join forces to counter the false claims and seductive arguments that our secularized culture is using to advance the bifurcation of faith and reason. Just as medical professionals need the on-going moral guidance of their spiritual Fathers and shepherds, so also our priests have a need to be updated on the science behind the major moral medical issues of the day. Our priests must confidently speak to their flocks about issues such as the medical dangers of oral contraceptives and the science and success of NaProTechnology in dealing with infertility. The promotion of the misguided Advanced Directive/POLST by our society is one example of an area where our priests need to be well informed. When counseling those who come to them, our priests must be able to respond to those who have been told by a secular doctor that an immoral medical procedure is the “only option” available to them.

After coming to understand the Church's teaching on marriage through the priest’s counseling, they decide to live separately and chastely until marriage. They also want to learn about natural family planning and turn to the priest for further resources. Natural family planning, or simply “NFP,” is a holistic and healthy way of planning families. It includes the ability to monitor fertility, and to modify behaviors according to the intention of either achieving or avoiding pregnancy. When used properly, husband and wife share in the responsibility of knowing, understanding, and living with their combined fertility, instead of suppressing or destroying it. When couples understand and appreciate their fertility, they can then discern regularly whether to have or not have a baby, and accordingly adopt behaviors that will bring about those ends. NFP is more than just monitoring natural markers of fertility. NFP is linked to conjugal love and openness to new life. Natural Indicators of Fertility Natural family planning involves the ability to observe, interpret, and track naturally occurring signs of fertility. In this way, one can estimate the beginning, peak, and end of the six-day fertile window, which includes the day of ovulation and the five preceding days of sperm survival. The tracking of the natural signs of fertility has a certain flexibility, so as to be able to monitor the variability of that fertile window from month to month. For NFP to be effective and useful, women and couples need to be able to track fertility during the various stages of a woman's reproductive life such as the postpartum period; breastfeeding times; and the peri-menopause transitions. Many NFP methods provide this ability. The traditional natural signs of fertility tracked in some NFP methods have included basal body temperature elevation and changes in cervical mucus observations. Currently, in some newer NFP methods, changes in the woman's levels of estrogen and luteinizing hormone (both of which can help show when ovulation occurs) can also be measured with a urinary hormonal monitor, giving greater confidence in identifying the fertile window. Users and providers of NFP can also use calendar-based formulas, sometimes in combination with other markers of fertility, to estimate the fertile phase of the menstrual cycle. Methods of NFP The tracking of natural biological indicators of fertility has been used alone or in various combinations by health professionals and scientists for many years to develop useful natural methods of family planning. There are five basic methods of NFP: 1. The Calendar Method - relies on counting previous cycle length and a simple formula to determine the beginning and end of fertility. 2. Basal Body Temperature (BBT) - recording of the woman’s daily waking temperature and observing the changing patterns. 3. The Ovulation Method (OM) - observing and recording the patterns and changes of cervical fluids. 4. The Sympto-thermal Method (STM) - combining daily waking temperature, changes in cervical fluid, cycle length, and other signs of fertility. 1 5. Hormonal monitoring (HM) – use of monitoring devices/technology to monitor urinary metabolites of female hormones, to estimate the fertile phase. The term “natural family planning” usually refers to the latest methods of NFP, such as the Ovulation Method (OM), the Creighton Model OM (CrM) system, the Sympto-thermal Method (STM), and the Marquette Model Hormonal method (MM). Simplified methods include the Standard Days Method (SDM), a calendar-based method utilizing data on probability of conception on particular days of the cycle, and the Two-Day Method (TDM), which involves cervical mucus monitoring and two simple questions to determine fertility. Effectiveness of NFP Methods There are two effectiveness numbers often utilized for any method of family planning: (1) correct or perfect use of the method, and (2) typical or average use, when methods are not used consistently or according to instructions. The correct use rate ranges from 0–5% pregnancy rate, and the typical rate from 2–23%.

  • St. Thomas Seminary
    St. Thomas Seminary St. Thomas Seminary Latin: Sigillum Seminarii Sancti Thomae Hartford Motto Spes Messis in Semine Hope to Harvest the Seeds Type Private Established 1897 Rector Most Reverend Christie A. Macaluso Location Bloomfield, Connecticut United States Colors Blue and White 1 St. Thomas Seminary, located in Bloomfield, Connecticut, is a minor seminary for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Hartford. The current rector is the Most Reverend Christie A. Macaluso. History[edit] St. Thomas Seminary was founded in 1897 by Bishop Michael Tierney, the sixth Bishop of Hartford. The original Seminary was located at 352 Collins Street in Hartford, in what was once the Chinese College. It opened its doors on September 7, 1897.[1] Bishop Tierney appointed the Right Reverend John Synnott as the first President of St. Thomas. Due to the increasing enrollment it became necessary to find a larger space. Bishop John J. Nilan had the cornerstone laid for the present building in 1928, and in 1930 the seminary moved to its current location in Bloomfield. Collins Street (1897–1930) St. Thomas Seminary opened on September 7, 1897, with 37 students in its first class. On the first floor was a study hall, classrooms, the refectory, and parlors. The second floor consisted of the chapel, a dormitory, and the professors' rooms.[3] Soon after the size of the building proved inadequate for the needs of the diocese, and a new building adjacent to the old Chinese College was erected, serving the diocese until 1930[ Bloomfield (1930–present) On September 30, 1930, St. Thomas opened at its new location in Bloomfield, a suburb of Hartford.

He stood up to read the Scriptures and was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it is written, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has chosen me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free the oppressed and announce that the time has come when the Lord will save his people.” Luke 4:16-19 There could be no better description of the mission of Catholic Charities than this passage from Luke. Through their work in Catholic Charities for over 100 years, priests, religious women, and lay men and women, staff and volunteers alike, have sought to bring the good news and hope to poor and vulnerable individuals and families in our state. They have done so through providing all kinds of direct services in their own Dioceses. They have also done so by coming together to speak as one voice at the state level for policies that help all individuals achieve their fullest human potential. Over these last 100 years at the state level, they have done so through the Catholic Welfare Committee, the Catholic Committee, the New York State Catholic Conference, and finally, since 1969, through the State Council of Catholic Charities Directors.
